Public Housing
Public Housing was established to provide decent and safe rental housing for eligible low-income families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) administers Federal aid to local housing agencies (HAs) that manage the housing for low-income residents at rents they can afford.
Who is Eligible?
Public housing is limited to low-income families and individuals. The Ware Housing Authority determines your eligibility based on: 1) annual gross income; 2) whether you qualify as elderly, a person with a disability,
or as a family; and 3) U.S. citizenship or eligible immigration status. If you are eligible, We will check your references to make sure you and your family will be good tenants.
We will deny admission to any applicant whose habits and practices may be expected to have a detrimental effect on other tenants or on the project's environment.
How is Rent Determined?
Your rent would be based on your family's anticipated gross annual income less deductions, if any.
Annual income is the anticipated total income from all sources received from the family head and spouse, and each additional member of the family 18 years of age or older.
